Aiyana and Keith were amazing from being to end. I hired them as the caterers for my wedding (100ppl). Their communication was timely and professional. This is one of the reasons we chose MAHFY over other catering vendors. We were able to do a tasting, which we made it into a whole date night. It was really good. We love their food and they have such positive energy. They helped us customize our menu. All requirements on their end were met for our venue. Last minute (two weeks prior) I needed extra help with clean up and they agreed to get more staff. My event decorator raved about how helpful they were with setup. They were early and ready to go! The cocktail hour and reception food was good and we received a lot of compliments from our guest. We also hired them to bartend the wedding and drinks were great as well. Clean up was fast and to the point. All staff were helpful, kind and professional. I cannot thank MAHFY for catering my wedding and making it a memorable night for us and our guest.

Tracy helped to coordinate every detail - she was able to put me in touch with vendors, help with design details, discuss backup plans for the unexpected hurricane that showed up the week leading up to our big day, etc. George and his team knocked it out of the park with the food. The entire staff worked tirelessly through the rain (hurricane!) with smiles on their faces and everything went off without a hitch. Despite the rain on my wedding day, the day was perfect & we are endlessly thankful for Tracy, George, and their team! HIGHLY recommend them for any party you're having, you will have NO regrets!

    We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Jillicious! My husband and I are major foodies so we knew we didn’t want to have standard wedding food at our reception. We started searching for wedding caterers that would work with us to customize the perfect menu for our wedding day. Jillicious did not disappoint! We worked with Chef Jill to put together the most delicious menu of both apps and main courses. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was. It honestly rivaled many of our favorite restaurants in NYC. In addition to the food, Chef Jill and her staff were amazing. They were so responsive throughout the whole wedding process and offered so many great recommendations. On the wedding day, the staff were very helpful with getting the rentals in order, setting up the tables, etc. We also had some guests thank us for how allergy conscious the wedding and staff were. We're so grateful to Jillicious for bringing our vision to life and couldn’t recommend them more! They truly contributed to an absolutely perfect wedding day!

    Purslane is probably one of the first caterers I worked with when I started my wedding planning business, and 6 years later, our relationship is still going strong! Their food is incredible, their staff is so professional, and they are a dream to work with on the planning side. I also have to give them MAJOR credit for being a zero waste caterer. The work that they do in the name of sustainability is inspiring and I always recommend them to my couples looking to lessen the environmental impact of their weddings.

    Cento Percento 

    5.0

    • Starts at $2,100
    • Serves New York, NY

    The phrase "cento percento" was born in the heart of Florence, Italy with the simple idea of bringing Tuscan style food to New York. It has since evolved into an experience like no other, including traditional antipasti, hot and cold main dishes, panini and decadent desserts, including pastries and soft serve gelato. Fresh ingredients and tradition are a reflection of Italy's love and passion for serving only the finest foods to their guests. At Cento Percento, we strive to uphold that tradition and provide you with a 100% (cento percento) unforgettable experience.

    I hired Cento Percento for several events for my clients and they were amazing to work with. The food is top notch and the service was impeccable. The staff understood the clientele and listened to my ideas and accommodated. They are very professional and a fun group to work with. I plan on using them whenever I have the opportunity.

Sensory Delights offers a very creative menu and with very fair pricing. The whole team is highly professional; and they have a very thorough system in place to ensure a quality service. As the day approached, Neima was very helpful. She communicated with my wedding planner and also helped us tremendously the day of. As I was getting ready to walk down the aisles, Neima was helping with my dress as I was getting down the stairs. My husband and I chose the plated dinner and Let me tell you, that exceeded our expectations! Our guests kept calling after the wedding to compliment me as they were impressed with the food and services from the servers. One of the main highlights is how they made sure that my bridal party ate during the cocktails hour after the ceremony while taking our pictures. At the end of the night, they had boxed food for my husband and me for the next day. My wedding planner told me how they went the extra mile to make sure that they delivered. They exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to work with them in the future. Thank you, Sensory Delights. You have gained a lifetime customer. Rose & Deldy

    About wedding caterers in New York, NY

    How much do catering services usually cost in New York, NY?

    Full service catering packages range from $100 to $18,000 and average around $1,500.

    Which are the most popular caterers in New York, NY?

    Some of the most popular caterers in this area include Infuse Catering & Events, Insatiable Eats Catering and JPO Concepts | Catering.

    Yes! 40% of packages in New York, NY include serving staff, such as servers and bussers. Many others also include rental coordination, just ask before you book!

    They can! 18 offer kosher services and 64 offer vegetarian packages. You can search on Zola for caterers who can accommodate nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, halal and vegan diets as well!

    Are tastings available before booking a wedding caterer?

    Who wouldn't jump at the chance for a sneak peek—or better yet, a sneak taste—of their wedding menu? Most wedding caterers in NYC know that the way to a couple's heart is through their stomach, and they stand ready to put their best plate forward. But do check in with your caterer about how they handle tastings—some offer them before you book (often for an additional fee), while others include full course sit down tastings of their menu offerings for you to select from after you’ve signed a contract.

    What's included in the catering package price in New York City?

    Let’s start with the most important part - the food. Typically, appetizers and a full meal are included in a wedding catering package (and sometimes even the cake!), but costs depend on whether you’re looking for passed hors d'oeuvres and a seated meal with individual entrees, or more of a buffet or family-style setup. The catering package often comes with the essentials, too - think tables, chairs, linens, silverware, and a professional staff ready to cater to you and your guests’ every need. That said, there are a wide variety of catering options available, so it's best to get the lowdown from your caterer directly. Will there be extra charges for setup and takedown? How about a corkage fee? Any chance of a complimentary food truck at midnight? Ask away, because chances are the right caterer will be able to work with you and your budget to achieve your dream culinary vision for your big day.

    How far in advance do I need to finalize the menu with my caterer?

    Generally, New York City caterers appreciate a final menu selection several months in advance of your wedding, and a final headcount several weeks in advance. Why? It's all about ensuring perfection, from procuring the freshest ingredients to coordinating the kitchen staff to ensure your menu is a showstopper.
